The former home of President John F. Kennedy in Washington, DC has hit the market for $US4,675,000.

Before he was president, Kennedy lived in the three-bedroom Georgetown house from 1949 to 1951 while serving in the House of Representatives for Massachusetts’ 11th congressional district. According to The Washingtonian, he shared the home with his sister, Eunice.

The three-bedroom, Federal-style brick house was built around 1800 and was recently renovated by architect Richard Foster and builder Tom Glass, according to the listing. It comes with an attached garage and a private rooftop terrace with views of the Washington Monument.

Christie-Anne Weiss of TTR Sotheby’s international Realty holds the listing.

Take a look inside the home.

John F. Kennedy’s onetime Washington, DC home is a Federal-style house built in 1800. It’s now on the market for almost $US4.7 million.

According to Zillow, it was last sold in 2008 for $US4.2 million.

Kennedy lived in the home for three years before he was president, from 1949 to 1951.

At the time, he was serving in the House of Representatives for Massachusetts’ 11th congressional district.

According to The Washingtonian, he shared the home with his sister, Eunice.

The three-bedroom house sits in Georgetown, a historic neighbourhood west of downtown that’s full of cobblestoned streets and charming boutiques.

The median listing price in Georgetown is $US1.4 million, according to Zillow.

Although the original structure was built about 220 years ago, the home recently underwent extensive renovations by architect Richard Foster and builder Tom Glass.

Because Georgetown is a historic district, the renovations had to adhere to strict guidelines and maintain historical accuracy in the home, according to Inman.

But there’s no shortage of modern touches. The gourmet kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a large island.
